Report Description

Paperboards are manufactured from wood pulp or layers of paper. The thickness of the paper piles defines the paperboard, which is usually large as compared to paper in order to maintain the weight to area ratio. According to International Organization for Standardization, the weight should be 224g/m2 to consider it as paperboard. Depending on application, paperboard can be a single ply or multi-ply. Paperboard offers good printing surface and excellent print quality. This makes it an ideal information carrier and brand builder. Paperboards are generally employed in cosmetics, clothing, footwear, and food industries.
